I have android one mobile phone and I use the sd card as internal storage and it works flawlessly. Also received the android 6.0.1 update today. Just awesome.

This feature to format as internal storage is not available in samsung devices. Can you tell me whether it can be done or not?

[ToplessTattoo]

what if your tablet dosn't give you the option.

[megumifoo]

What to do??? My sd card cant be format, there isnt selection for me to format

[pupupuia]

I have a Xperia Z2, and I always saw this option since the update to 6.0.1

I have resetted my phone, and deleted all files, but the option "use as internal storage" does not appear. I can only format the card or eject the card.

Can anyone help me? :/

For those of you who don't have the option type:
adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
in adb shell, or
sm set-force-adoptable true
in terminal.
